Enterprise Agreements

Extract the full value of your enterprise agreement

Software purchases continue to be a significant component of enterprise IT budgets. These costs will continue to increase as enterprise agreements and software as a service (SaaS) dominate the market. But despite the rise in enterprise agreements, many companies fail to extract their full business value.

To take advantage of what today’s enterprise agreements offer demands a new approach to software management. That’s why we created EA+, a program of services that maximizes how enterprises buy and use software.

Through this program, you can stop viewing enterprise agreements as a pricing tool and begin to reimagine how they can simplify, accelerate and innovate your business.

INTRODUCING WWT’S EA+

Before you make a financial commitment to an enterprise agreement, it’s essential to align it to your business goals. Our EA+ Business Value Workshop is a 2- to 4-hour session designed to ensure we understand your goals, needs and overall business strategy. Our software experts help you understand the variations of an enterprise agreement and how your organization can best use an it. This sets the foundation for your internal business case.

From there, we can tailor an enterprise agreement program to your business, so when it comes time to make a purchase, you can start maximizing the potential right away.
Often the benefits of an enterprise agreement end at the date of purchase as organizations view it simply as a cost savings initiative. We see this as just the beginning. Once you purchase your enterprise agreement, it’s time to immediately begin utilizing it as a business strategy tool.

We quickly work with you to schedule an EA+ Integration Kickoff that will provide you with a detailed understanding of what software is contained in your purchase, a roadmap of your implementation and what you should expect from us during the term of your agreement. Also during this time, we cover how to leverage our Advanced Technology Center, introduce you to our Advanced and End-user Adoption Services methodology, schedule your recurring quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and outline your online reporting.

Throughout the lifetime of the EA, we can also schedule Vision Scoping Workshops to ensure we are executing on priority projects, meeting adoption targets and optimizing your contract and reporting needs.

CHALLENGE US WITH YOUR MOST COMPLEX SOFTWARE AND LICENSING REQUIREMENTS

EA+ gives you the services you need to capitalize on your software investments. As software as a service (SaaS) transforms your enterprise, management of your software must also transform. EA+ makes that shift easy. Let us show you how the benefits of an enterprise agreement can extend far beyond what you have ever experienced.
